Hamilton Improving At Shortstop For Reds

Billy Hamilton's basestealing gets plenty of attention. That's understandable, considering he is on a collision course with Vince Coleman's all-time steals record of 145. But Hamilton is not going to get to the big leagues on his speed alone. The other parts of his game must develop as well. The Reds are pleased with the way his defense at shortstop and his hitting have improved.
